I’m moving these posts to Monday morning and will try to provide a theme each week to connect the five links. Enjoy. Dave Snowden’s 12 Shibboleth’s of Christmas Back in 2015, Dave Snowden took on 12 aspects of organizational and corporate culture that were basically enemies of complexity thinking. The list is still very valuable these days. In each post Dave offers the problem and the way complexity theory helps you do better. Evaluation and complexity – lesson from 5 big evaluations in the UK I’ve recently found the blog of Marcus Jenal, who is yet another guy who is …

Some interesting links that caught my eye this week. Why Black Hole Interiors Grow (Almost) Forever Leonard Susskind has linked the growth of black holes to increasing complexity.

And whether the cosmic clock, the evolution of the universe, is connected with the evolution of complexity. There, I …

My choice this week has been Kim Stanley’ Robinson’s “Aurora” which is a story about a human voyage to colonize a planet 11 light years away. It is an amazing book about problems solving and ontology and should be …

A plant by the Marriot near the Tampa airport. A busy and packed trip to Baltimore and Tampa this week prevented much in the way of blogging, but there were several links of note that crossed my attention. A Metis blogger called “âpihtawikosisân” has been producing some incredible stuff on Attawapiskat and the decline of useful conversation in the public sphere. I have much more to say about this. Related to this, some youth at Rosebud have asserted their desire not to be a part of the poverty pornography industry, indulged in by network TV news. You need power to …
